Got to debut a first glimpse of Drills & Desire at the @wepresent spring show and my heart is so full 🥹 My new photo series is still ongoing, so what was shown at the exhibition was only a small taste of what’s to come, which makes all the love and support from everyone both IRL and online feel even more special Truly such an honour to be showing work alongside photographers I really admire! So much love to @alex.kahl @faye.quinn14 @danielleboelling @tjadebouma @livsiddall @pollzi24 @hollymercedes27 🫶🏽 📸 @ejatushaw

I’m so excited to finally share this with all of you 🦋 Yes, that’s me in the photo! Drills & Desire came from returning to something I had avoided, and seeing it with a different kind of clarity. What once felt like something I had to get through has become something I can now reshape and reclaim on my own terms. The first phase of this series was shot in Singapore in summer 2025, and is now being presented with @wepresent from 8–10 May at Copeland Gallery.

Exhibited some of my prints at @chet__lo ’s AW26 show, where the runway turned into a night market. London Asian creatives everywhere. A really special night! The show moved from spectacle to presence, and being part of that world felt powerful and rooted in community 🫂💫

Merci @photo.elysee for this moment in Lausanne This work was made during lockdown and never quite had its moment. Seeing it now years later in a museum feels quietly surreal. Returning to personal work this year, 2026 Year of the Horse, it’s time we move again 💋

We’re in a museum! @photo.elysee 🥹 Honoured to have my first photo series ‘Younglawa’ featured in “Gen Z: Shaping a New Gaze” exhibition, and to visit Lausanne, Switzerland for the first time! Grateful to meet and show alongside so many inspiring artists from around the world. Big love to the Photo Elysée team for the warm welcome and for showing us the magic of Lausanne. The exhibition runs until February 1, 2026 — go see it if you’re around! #photoelysée #reel

Cheers to three decades of me! ✨🎂⁣ ⁣ I don’t normally make a big deal out of my birthday, but this one was extra special—celebrating with all my favourite people 💐⁣ ⁣ When I moved to London over 7 years ago, I didn’t know a single person. Now, to be surrounded by my chosen family here means more than I can put into words. I was truly blown away by the performances, the beautiful poem piece, and the overwhelming love throughout the night. Grateful beyond words for each and every one of you who made this celebration unforgettable 💫

Small World 3.0 ! With the amazing Hidhir Badaruddin, I chat with the photographer, originally from Singapore now based in London ! (My old home town). We chat favourite museums, food & neighbourhoods as well as the always important queer visibility ! If you’re new to SMALL WORLD it’s an interview series by Artist & Designer Kris Andrew Small, with creatives from around the planet 🌎🌍! We talk about what influence those cities have on their practice as well as their favourites spots in the city, all while sharing our community with more people ! ❤️‍🔥
